Beerball Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 It would be very difficult to pull Avril away from Detroit after this season and because of the fact they've said they want to retain him. Williams on the other hand would be the biggest FA signing in franchise history. Not until he gives the defense the kind of lift that Paup did. Then let's talk.

Buffalo Barbarian Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 ...and who is that you think is signing the checks? Pegula? Yes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanC883 Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 This link gives cap savings for cutting certain players, not saying we should but we could absolutely find the money for Mario Williams. My link Great link. But why on earth is it on a Jets site?!?!? Add the Bills not making a big splash in the free agent market to the sure thing list along with death and taxes. I think the last big name free agent the Bills signed on defense was Bryce Paup but I'm getting too old to remember that far back. Give me 3 good reasons why a big-time free agent would come here: Are you going to pay me more than anyone else is offering? <No> Are you committed to building a winner that will give me a legitimate shot at getting a 'ring' right now? <No> Who else are you going to bring bring in to get to the next level? <Nobody> This, of course, is the sad truth. The Bills will say they "tried" to land a big FA on defense or for WR, but they will fail and bring in (and overpay) some medicore player from another team.

QCity Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 Williams on the other hand would be the biggest FA signing in franchise history. No doubt, to get him here it would take Peppers' money ~ 6yrs/$85M with $40M guaranteed. I don't want to depress anyone by speculating on the odds of that happening, I'm having too much fun picturing him in a Bills jersey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cornerville Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 If we truly are spending to the cap this year, do you think we will go after Williams? And maybe if not him then Cliff Avril? Their additions would be the boost to pass rush that we need to get over the hump IMO http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2012/writers/peter_king/01/23/super.bowl.xlvi.matchup/2.html HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAHHAAHAHAHHAAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

....lybob Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 If we go 34 but we have plenty of 34 ends. you're right, I thought he was playing LDE in a 4-3 , but you got to admit that 72 tackles 8 sacks and 10 PDs is awesome for a 3-4 end.

Pete Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 Sign Williams at any cost. How in the hell could we not have the money to sign him? Is it all tied up in Kelsay? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
papazoid Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 he will be Franchise Tagged.....and deservedly so. but, assuming for a moment that Houston is off their rocker....YES !! YES !!! sign this guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KRT88 Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 Why would Mario Williams sign with the Bills? Houston has far greater upside and others will bid w/ better historical track records of being committed to win! We have to start winning before we can attract "big game" FA.

NoSaint Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 he will be Franchise Tagged.....and deservedly so. but, assuming for a moment that Houston is off their rocker....YES !! YES !!! sign this guy. You know, unless they realized Arian foster meant more to the w-l columns and is also a FA. Their 43DE getting hurt didn't really kill that 34 defense and try have other franchise players hitting the market Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
